I currently have ordered a v6 1lt automatic and will be upgrading in the future to get some more horses out of it. Ive thought about NOS but this seems like it would be bad for the pistons from what Ive heard. Anyways I recently rode in a v8 manual and the power in it was pretty amazing and my head jerked back everytime it shifted. So my question is for everyoen here that has a v6 or has driven one, does it have enough power to have fun with it? I know that it is very powerful compared to the other competing v6's but does it have that push back in your seat head jerk feeling? haha

It's more the driver son. But it will not compare to the v8. I on the other hand think its more than enough, especially out of a v6. You have to think about it a new mustang gt only packs about 315hp vs the 2010 Camaro which is packing a whoppin' 304hp!

Oh and when it comes to modding it, why go through the trouble brother. For not even a 5k difference in price you can get a similar SS model. I know you may spend more than you would modding your v6 but it will be impossible in that much money to jump your v6 to 426hp. Just get the 1SS.

I drive around 130 miles and this is my daily driver so I needed to squeeze as much gas out of it as possible. It is almost all Interstate and with the cruise set to 70, it's just a fast idle. Now I would also like to get as much fun to drive out of it as well. Headers, CAI and a tune to get rid of the touque managment would make it drive as a small V8. We are still waiting for a tune but two companies have stated that they would work on it.

I am happy with my V6 although a dealer nearby finally got in the same car in a V8. However, that would of costed me another $$175 a month as it would be about $10,000 more compared to the lucky price I got on the V6. I am just getting a little tired of the fixed up mustangs on the road growling at me when I turn off the road. They like reving their engines. Maybe they are scrared or jealous.

Does the V6 have enough power, hmmm for me definitely not. if you can afford a V8 get it, if not get your V6 and love it everyday because its still a camaro. I hate nitrous thats not a MOD its a cheat(my opinion). Your not gonna be able to mod up a V6 to match a V8 without a turbo or SC and then you've spent enough to get a V8.

I would like to apoligize ahead of time if any of my posts bother you, I am quite a large smartass and very expressive of my opinion!I came here to chew bubble gum and kick ass and I'm all out of bubble gum!Ordered Feb. 13 2009: 2SS/RS/M6/Sunroof/ Rally Yellow built 8/7 Vin# 33534, Delivered 8/26/09!

my v6 seems slower then my friends mazda 3, or at par. and mine has 2400km on it. The power seems unussually low so i am hoping to get a drive in someone elses v6 manual to see how it feels in comparison to mine

It really depends on you - the driver, everyone is different. I recently rented a 1lt from Avis(you may want to do the same). The v6 is a quick and fun car, but it depends if you're stepping up from like a family sedan or SUV or if you already own a quick car it may not be as impressive to you. I would HIGHLY recommend a test drive prior to making your final decision.

Yes, and even the pennies with gas. Money saved will help him with a used/new SS with mods with a lower ins after the age of 25. I cant remember his age but remember reading his post awhile ago ( was it in the ibm thread) and the impression left was that he is still a young one.

The low end tq from V8s can be addicting ( some people hate it...noticably they where all women) and its definately missing from the LT/LS. Ontheotherhand, i've realized i drive more responsibly from take offs. The low end torque brings out the devil in many driver..including me. The LT/RS does need a little more tq for a proper fit ( 20's).

Yep, you definitely can't compare it to a V8... Yes, while the V6 Camaro make a 304 HP it only makes 273 ft/lbs of torque compared to the Mustang GT's 325 ftlbs!!!

Think with a littler rear gear change, it would definitely make for a little more fun... with the 6 speed, i wonder how much fun 4.10s would be! LOL!

If guys have plans of tuning the snot out of this motor so they can race it with the big dogs stop torturing yourself get the V8 and be done with it. If u just want a cool looking car with a bit of kick that use's cheap gas and lower costs over-all then you have the right car for you. Just have realistic goals about the V6. Its an amazing motor for a V6 but there are a ton of cars more faster and powerful then it.
